Abstract

Sudden death due to cardiac arrest and respiratory failure frequently occurs in the community, including in public places and houses of worship. Basic Life Support (BLS) is a simple yet crucial initial action to preserve life before advanced medical care is available. This community service activity was part of the HKBP Gotilon Festival 2025, organized in collaboration between the HKBP Church Jl. Uskup Agung Sugiopranoto Medan, Medical Faculty of Universitas Methodist Indonesia, Medical Faculty of Universitas HKBP Nommensen, and supported by the Indonesian Cardiovascular Specialist Association (PERKI) as experts. The program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of the congregation of the HKBP Church in performing BLS. The methods included health education on the basic concepts of BLS, demonstration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and hands-on practice using mannequins. The results showed an increase in participants understanding of emergency response steps as well as their ability to perform CPR correctly. This activity is expected to raise community awareness of the importance of BLS skills and to equip them with the capability to provide initial assistance in emergency situations.

Abstract

Flood disasters often cause various health problems such as skin diseases, diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, and leptospirosis due to environmental contamination and limited access to health services. This community service activity aimed to provide free medical treatment for flood-affected communities as an effort to prevent disease transmission and improve public health status. The activity was carried out through health examinations, medication distribution, health education, and environmental sanitation counseling. The target participants were residents affected by flooding in the designated area. The results showed that most patients experienced skin infections, diarrhea, fever, and respiratory tract infections. Health education increased community awareness regarding clean and healthy living behavior after floods. Free medical services were proven to be effective in reducing complaints and preventing more serious complications among the affected population.

Abstract

The liver is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body, particularly metabolism. This article discusses the anatomy of the liver, which consists of four main lobes and a functional unit called the hepatic lobule. It also discusses its role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, detoxification, and bile production. The liver maintains blood glucose balance through glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis. It also produces lipoproteins, cholesterol, and plasma proteins, and neutralizes toxic substances through detoxification. With these functions, the liver is a crucial control center for the body's metabolism. Efforts to maintain liver health are necessary to support optimal liver function

Abstract

Background : Uncontrolled diabetes causes chronic complications, bothmicroangiopathies and angiopathies. Diabetic ulcers are one of thechronic complications of diabetes, caused by macroangiopathy resulting invascular insufficiency and neuropathy. Ulcers are a concern which willlead to a level of disability that will prolong the patient's treatment period.Factors that affect the length of care in diabetic ulcer patients aremetabolic control (poor blood sugar, hba1c, albumin, hemoglobin, LDL,LDL), infection control (elevated leukocytes), vascular control (increasedd-dimer coagulation). The length of treatment of diabetic ulcer patientswill burden both the patient and the state. Research: To analyze therelationship of predictor factors (hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, LDL,HbA1c, D-dimer, Albumin) to the length of treatment of diabetic ulcerpatients at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital Medan City. Methods: This study is ananalytic observational study with a research design using a cross-sectionalstudy. Results: Based on the results of the proportion test with the Chi-square correlation test there is a relationship between hemoglobin (p-value of 0.008), the relationship between leukocytes (p-value of 0.010), therelationship between platelets (p-value of 0.010), the relationship betweenLDL (p-value of 0.047), the relationship between HbA1C (p-value of0.046), the relationship between D-dimer (p-value of 0.025), therelationship between albumin (p-value of 0.041) with the length oftreatment of diabetic ulcer patients. In multivariate results, the factor thatmost influences the length of treatment is leukocytes. Conclusion:Hemoglobin, leukocyte, platelet, LDL, HbA1c, D-dimer, Albumin levelsare factors associated with the length of treatment of diabetic ulcerpatients at Rsud Dr. Pirngadi Medan City in 2022-2023 and leukocytesare the most influential factor.Keywords: diabetes, diabetic ulcer, length of stay

Abstract

Background: Nosocomial infections, particularly those occurring after 72hours of patient admission, present a serious challenge in hospitals. Thesegram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiellapneumoniae, and Shigella, can lead to various infections such as urinarytract infections and nosocomial pneumonia. Nosocomial pneumonia,which encompasses Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP), is associated with high mortality rates andcan spread through contact transmission. The primary causes of theseinfections include prolonged hospitalization, severity of illness, andexcessive use of antibiotics, which can enhance bacterial resistance. Toprevent the spread of nosocomial infections, stringent hygiene practicesand proper aseptic procedures are essential, along with prudent antibioticmanagement based on laboratory results. These preventive measures arecrucial for improving the quality of healthcare services in hospitals andreducing the risk of nosocomial infections

Abstract

Abstract Background: cholesterol is a fatty substance circulating in the blood, yellowish in color and in the form of wax, which is produced by the liver and is needed by the body. High cholesterol increases a person's risk of developing narrowing of the arteries or atherosclerosis, blood clots in certain parts of the body, strokes and heart attacks. One plant that is thought to have antihypercholesterol activity is Malacca leaf (Phyllanthus emblica L.). Malacca leaf extract works as an inhibitor of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoAR) so that cholesterol synthesis decreases. Objective: to determine the effect of Malacca leaf extract (Phyllanthus emblica L.) on total cholesterol levels in mice (Mus musculus) females with a diet high in saturated fat. Methods: this study is experimental laboratory using the design method of Randomized control group pretest & post test design. Samples in this study using mice (Mus musculus) female sex. Mice are divided into 4 groups, namely P0, P1, P2 and P3. Group P0 was given standard feed, Group P1 was given standard feed and quail egg yolk, group P2 was given standard feed, quail egg yolk and Malacca leaf extract, group P3 was given standard feed, quail egg yolk and orlistat drug. Results: the average percentage of increase in total cholesterol levels in the group given Malacca leaf extract has a percentage of increase in total cholesterol levels is smaller than the other groups of 3%. Conclusion: the administration of Malacca Leaf Extract can prevent the increase in total cholesterol levels in mice.

Abstract

Delayed post-discharge follow-up among geriatric patients may compromise continuity of care and increase the risk of adverse health outcomes. Early identification of patients at high risk is essential to facilitate timely interventions. This study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for delayed follow-up visits among hospitalized geriatric patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 263 geriatric patients discharged from a general hospital in Medan, Indonesia. Digital health literacy, family support, and medication regimen complexity were assessed using validated instruments. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of delayed follow-up, and model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Delayed post-discharge follow-up occurred in 34.6% of participants. Low digital health literacy (adjusted OR = 2.87), poor family support (adjusted OR = 1.93), and high medication regimen complexity (adjusted OR = 3.76) were independently associated with delayed follow-up. The final prediction model demonstrated good discrimination with an AUROC of 0.821 (95% CI: 0.769–0.873) and satisfactory calibration (Hosmer–Lemeshow p = 0.617), indicating good predictive performance. Low digital health literacy, poor family support, and high medication regimen complexity are significant predictors of delayed post-discharge follow-up among geriatric patients. The proposed prediction model may serve as a practical screening tool to identify patients requiring targeted discharge planning and transitional care interventions, thereby improving continuity of care and supporting healthy ageing.
